Tzimmes is a traditional baked dish of root vegetables with dried fruit, served alongside a festive meal. Growing up, tzimmes was a highlight of the Rosh Hashanah and Passover menus—sweet enough to pass as a dessert, but packed with bright vegetables, it was the perfect, warming side dish during the holidays. If you aren’t familiar with this dish, give it a try for your next holiday meal. In Ashkenazi tradition, it includes a healthy serving of prunes, brown sugar and orange juice, but swapping for honey (which gives a nod to Rosh Hashanah), ginger and cayenne makes this tzimmes a touch healthier, without sacrificing taste or tradition!
